This is meat today.
This is for the those who thirst after righteousness.
Work through me Holy Spirit.
THE WAY THAT GOD IS REVERED IS THROUGH KNOWING HIS CHARACTER AND HIS WORD.
Know what God said.
Don't allow folks to come in with the wisdom of men and deceive you out of your inheritance.
Don't honor the creation more than The Creator and don't make idols of men.
Many don't revere and honor people who they have no knowledge of, when you learn of the love that God has for you, you will honor Him.
It's easy for people to believe a lie about someone who they have never met.
Come and learn of the Lord.
If the majority of folks don't even esteem other people how do you expect them to revere God if they don't know Him?
This is how Our God can be slandered and misrepresented for men's gain and not revered because He is not known to the majority of His own, let alone the lost.
Why?
Because everything else is being preached except Christ.
Bless me!
You are blessed.
In Christ you are a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:7
This is the truth and it's not a lie.
Let me tell you why In Christ Jesus you never have to lie.
You never have to misrepresent your self and be deceitful to God or any people.
You never ever have to pretend to be someone or somewhere that you are not.
Because only those who lack the power of God have to omit and twist the truth.
Fear lies and steals because it lacks power, this is why Satan deceives because if he doesn't run scam, he has no power.
GLORY IN THE LORD!
The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian church saying,
That no man should glory in him self.
No man should be wise in his own eyes.
I am not the wo-man!
I am not Paul, Joseph, Daniel, the Widow Woman, The Woman With The Issue Of Blood, The Samaritan Woman, Mary or Martha, Elijah or Elisha, Ahab, Ananias or Sapphira.
I am not The Great High Priest and neither are you.
They all are actual people and I'm Lolita an actual woman and daughter of God who has a personal relationship with The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
So I am not wise in my own eyes.
Do you know why Paul said this?
Yes, I do.
Because the Apostle Paul himself didn't glory in himself but in Christ Jesus who gave him wisdom when He shined as a bright light before him on that road to Damascus.
Paul determined not to know any thing among the people except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
Paul said that his preaching was not with enticing, persuasive, or manipulative words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
So that the faith of those who heard him didn't rest in Paul's charisma, but on God's power.
The object of our faith has to be Christ our great High Priest.
Hebrews 7:28
Let me tell you why we don't have to sit in chambers and try and figure out what God will do or even wait on someone to tell us what God will do.
Because God has revealed what He will do to us by His Spirit.
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son, who He (God The Father) appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.
John 1:1-3; Hebrews 1:1,2
What did the Lord say?
After The LORD, my LORD had risen from the grave and before He ascended to heaven to be at the right hand of God He gathered His disciples together and commanded that they not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of The Father, which, ye have heard of me.
The LORD, my LORD had told them and it's written in John's record of the gospel.
If you love me, keep my commandments.
And I will pray The Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; Even The Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but you know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:15-17
Why did they need a Comforter?
How come The Five fold ministry isn't enough?
Why do we need The Comforter to be equipped?
Don't we need a pastor to lay his mantle on us like Elijah did to Elisha before we can be an effective witness?
Not according to Acts 1:8
Jesus, my LORD said,
But you shall receive power, after The Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Before any pastor begins to grit his teeth.
I understand and respect the call and office of a pastor.
An overseer and a shepherd who takes care of and for the flock, sees that they are fed, keeps the wolves at bay, and brings back the lost ones.
And then there are those who have decided that they are more than and above Holy Ghost who will cause their flock to suffer.
Jesus, my LORD said,
But the Comforter, which is The Holy Ghost, whom The Father will send in my Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:26
Yes you can learn from the elders, don't twist what I'm saying, you are not however bound to idolize any man.
Howbeit when He, The Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever He shall hear that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
John 16:13,14
Who will show it to you?
The Comforter, The Holy Ghost.
I'm saying all of this for a reason because we are going to go somewhere with all of this, this week.
SPIRIT - MIND - SOUL
The three things that the gospel, men and demons are lobbying to influence in your life.
It's good to understand the dynamics of Spirit, Mind and Soul.
We are spirit beings that live in bodies of flesh.
We have a mind.
We have a soul.
Our spirit is the supernatural and eternal part of our being that connects us to God.
Our spirit is what God speaks to and reveals to.
Our spirit is what will either live in eternity with Christ or hell with the devil.
Our spirit man needs to be fed and it is only truly satisfied after salvation when it is nourished with the truth of God's Love and Word.
Our mind is the center of our intellect (thought processes).
Our mind is what men speak to.
Our intellect is what the devil speaks to.
This is what the serpent spoke to in Eve in the garden.
Genesis 3:1-7
Our mind is not supernatural and needs to be renewed by the supernatural Word of God.
This is what the devil spoke to when he tempted our LORD in the desert.
But Jesus told him what was written.
Amen.
Our mind is the gateway to our heart and this is why it is so important that we guard what we allow our minds to be influenced by.
Whatever gets into the mind through the ear gate and eye gate, gets into the heart and eventually comes out of the mouth.
Amen.
Our mouth frames our life because death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Our mouth is how heaven and hell knows what we are thinking, remember the devil doesn't know what you are thinking until you start complaining or praising.
It's what we say that give angels or demons something to run with.
You can put angels into flight or give the devil dentures.
This is important to understand because this is why people start Universities, Churches, Clubs, Unions, Alliances, Political Parties and Associations , to influence the thinking of other people.
To either change it or develop it.
Hallelujah!
LISTEN
Our soul is made up of our will and your emotions.
Our soul is not supernatural it is very natural.
Our soul is led by our thought processes/mind.
The condition of our soul is usually manifest in our everyday activities and responses.
The condition of our soul is usually written on our sleeve.
You may have been taught that the soul is made up of the mind, will and emotions but the gospels distinguish the mind separately from the soul.
It is written here:
Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:30: Luke 10:27
Things of the Spirit will never be intellectually discerned.
They call it mental ascent and it is a surface belief without revelation.
So the PhD will not always comprehend the things of God.
1 Corinthians 1:27
This is why we can't debate people into putting their confidence in Christ Jesus.
It is written and The Bible teaches,
"No eye has seen,
no ear heard, no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love Him."
but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.
Jesus went away and prepared a place for us we are not preparing it for our selves.
Do you mean that God didn't reveal it to the prophet and then the prophet has got to tell me what I am , who I am, what I am going to have and where I am going to be?
Exactly.
Let's look to the Word of God for an example.
Matthew 16:13-20
When Jesus came into the coast of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
The Lord asked them, But who do you say that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art The Christ, The Son of The Living God.
(Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth spoke.)
But it was dropped in His spirit by The Father.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
So it wasn't a prophet that came and told Peter who The Lord was but God revealed it to Peter through his spirit.
An unction from the Holy Spirit to our spirit.
This is how God changes lives and works through us.
Romans 8:1 teaches us to walk after The Spirit because there is no condemnation there.
There is no condemnation there because we are following Christ and not men, not the natural intellect, not our own thing, not our flesh.
It is written in Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by The Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
What I want you to go away with today is this.
You may be wondering what's wrong with you, why are you in this situation?
How come you can't do this or how come this hasn't happened for me?
Why can't I do right?
Is it my personality or my temperament?
No baby, it's because you don't know this.
You have to know this to believe this because faith is not blind and when you know this, no devil and hell can stop the plan or the work that God is going to do through you.
It's the Spirit of God that helps our infirmities.
Consider the scriptures in this blog today and pray in the Holy Ghost.
He that searches the hearts and knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the Will of God and not the will of man.
God sets men up and God will set men down.
There are many priests but you have a priest In Christ that continues forever and who has an unchangable priesthood.
Love Y'all
